CARBON SHEET CARTON origina; Filed Jan.' 19', 1928 Patented July 1, 1930OFFICE GEORGE GARWOOD liu-ninos, 'on NmJLEY, NEW JERSEY, AssIGNOR .ToNEIDIOH PROCESS COMPANY, or. BURLINGTON, NEW JERSEY, A CORPORATION vorDELAWARE CARBON-SHEET oARToN Original application filed January 19 Thisisa divisionof myoriginal applicalktion Serial No. 247,779 led Januaryy19, 1928.

" 'Ordinarily, carbon papel` is packed in cartons containing onlyA onecolor, kind,l and grade. 1 However, jit ismost economical to employcarbon paper of four different grades for making record copies ofordinary commercial typewritten matter, including correspondence, bills,order forms, etc. 5 such Vtransfer sheets ranging from'sevenfpoundtissue paper stock' for single'copiesto four pound rstock for siX ormore copies;` l

I Itf's not only costly, but difficult, and consequently wasteful oftime ofthe typist, to

'maintain and use a stock kofthe four different grades, because inaccordance'with'the usual practice, it would necessitate the maintenance-of four different bulkycartons in aposition accessible to the typist. pY H Therefore, is the object and effect of my invention to Vprovidemeans for packing, and

1 rendering accessible to atypist in asingle carton, the several gradesof carbon paper sheets aforesaid and in such position and re-V lationthat thedifferent grades are distinctively and accessibly presented/forwitlidrawal Vby the operator; the paper of the several grades being heldin respectively dif.- ferent folders whichare primarily packed in saidcarton but which may be readily :independently removed and replaced..kMoreover,

thickest and the yellow the thinnest. Therean adjunctive feature of myinvention is the distinguishment of each of said folders by color,coordinating themY and their contents with the colors of paperordinarily used in the several items ofcommercial stationarycontemplated upon which the Original type- Written matter is imprinted.It is the ordinary practice to employ four different kinds of commercialpapers, respectively white, blue, pink and yellow; the white being thefore, inthe form of my invention hereinafter described, I have includedina single carton,

respective folders which are white,y blue, pink,

and yellow and which hold carbon paper ofA the properV grade for makingcopies from the original typewriting upon papers whichy is white, blue,pink, and yellow and di'ering in thickness as aforesaid. The advantageof abutmentfixed in the carton. f
